Establishes an animal abuser registry

Bill S 8084 establishes a statewide public registry for individuals convicted of felony or misdemeanor animal cruelty offenses. These individuals, defined as "animal abusers," would be required to register with the state, providing personal and conviction details, with annual renewals for a specified period or for life in some cases. The registry would be publicly accessible, and failure to register or providing false information would be a felony. Additionally, pet stores and animal shelters would be denied licenses if the applicant is on this registry, and no person would be allowed to sell or transfer an animal to someone listed on the registry. Local animal welfare organizations would also be notified of registered animal abusers in their area.
